Explores the terrain of the cultural history of biblical interpretation. Jeffrey is not content to chart biblical scholarship and how it has both influenced and been influenced by culture. Instead, he chooses to focus upon the "art" of Biblical interpretation - how sculptors, musicians, poets, novelists, and painters have "read" the Bible.

Identifies the place where religion and philosophy meet - and does so in constant conversation with Augustine, Hegel, Heidegger and Jaspers. Vaught argues that both religious and philosophical discourse assume one of four modes: figurative, analytical, systematic, and analogical. Innovation occurs by moving from one mode of discourse to another.
